An unseen Hand and a silent Voice offer edits during a life’s spiritual narrative. It’s unwise to ignore the Editor’s suggestions. But paying attention can change the narrative’s trajectory far beyond the expected.Writer and poet Cynthia Trenshaw speaks of “the sacred Editor’s” influence in her life.
